According to Westin, Kepner’s stepbrother was totally obsessed with her and wouldn’t stop pursuing her. Westin also claims Kepner was frightened of her stepbrother — saying he allegedly always carried a knife.
Furthermore, Westin claims his son was once saw Kepner’s stepbrother enter her room and get on top of her while she was asleep — all during a FaceTime call.
